Tina Fey has baby #2 on the way!

It’s official. Tina Fey, comedienne/actress, revealed that she was 5-months pregnant with her second child while taping the Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday. She and her husband, composer Jeff Richmond, are also parents to 5 year-old daughter, Alice.

The news comes just a day after Fey’s 30 Rock co-star Alec Baldwin announced that their hit sitcom will come to an end next year (12).

In her book “Bossypants,” Fey, 40, wrestled with the idea of having another child.

“I thought that raising an only child would be the norm in Manhattan, but my daughter is the only child in her class without a sibling,” Fey wrote. “Most kids have at least two.”

Fey also wrote about how being a parent changed her as a boss.

“The biggest thing you realize when you have a kid is how many other people in your workplace are dealing with that,” she wrote. “When you’re single, you’re like, ‘Let’s work ’til 10.’ You don’t care. Once you have a kid, you’re like, ‘Oh yeah, if I’m exhausted because my kid was up all night with a cold, so are 10 other people.’ It makes you more of a sympathetic human being.”

In my opinion Fey has to be one of the brightest, funniest and most talented people around. Congratulations to the happy family from all of us at Le Top!

We think the Le Top “Petit Duckling” Footed Coverall with Wrap Styling would be the perfect outfit for her little munchkin with its classic design and super soft cotton.

Everyone Needs Playgroup

Paulo is wearing a zip hoodie and cargo pants set from rabbitmoon's Imagination collection.

I’m guilty! I am so guilty of not indulging my second child to the same enjoyable things as I did with my first. Miranda had playgroups, play dates, Mommy and Me classes, anything and everything that I could expose her to that would be fun, educational, and give us extra bonding/play time.

I remember someone telling me that having two kids is like having 10. I didn’t believe it! How can one little person make life complicated to the 10th degree? Well, let me tell you… Now that I have two kids, I AM A BELIEVER! I am so busy with the demands of motherhood, Miranda’s school, my freelance work, the housework, the grocery shopping (I have to go every week now because boys eat so much more than girls!) and all the voluntary roles I thought I would have time for (Classroom Mom, Yearbook Committee, Faith Formation Teacher, helping my parents). I’m lucky if I can keep my head above water. Poor Paulo! He gets whatever is left of my hectic schedule.

I jotted down my little guy’s schedule each day of the week:

• Monday: take Miranda to school, eat, very short nap, pick up Miranda, play
• Tuesday: take Miranda to school, eat, very short nap, pick up Miranda, play
• Wednesday : take Miranda to school, eat, longer nap, pick up Miranda, play
• Thursday: take Miranda to school, SWIM CLASS!!!, eat, longer nap, pick up Miranda, play
• Friday: take Miranda to school, eat, longer nap, pick up Miranda, play

Pretty boring, huh? At least he has weekly swim classes. But any free time I get, I’m either working, doing chores or running errands just so I can survive the day and actually get to bed at a decent time (midnight would be early for me!) But never mind about me. This is precious Paulo time I’m wasting. So… I’ve decided that I NEED take charge of my schedule and plan recreational activities for my little guy. He shouldn’t be penalized for being Child No. 2. He needs to have his own schedule, his own friends, and make his own memories. This sad little dude rarely sees a playground that when he does see one, he pees his pants in excitement! So I’m bringing back weekly playgroups.

His first play date was with my friend’s daughter. This little girl’s big brother was Miranda’s first playgroup friend and they have been very good friends ever since. (Coincidentally, my friend and I had our two kids roughly at the same time so each of our two kids are about the same age.) We met at a nearby playground to enjoy the fresh air and some outdoor fun, but it started to drizzle. Luckily, there was Toddler Storytime at the museum across the way that was just about to start. PERFECT!

The kids had a good time, AND the moms did as well. We both reminisced about our lives five years ago when we were both new mothers and only had one child each. We talked about how much more relaxed we were back then, how busy our lives have become, and how we missed connecting with each other just to talk about life in general (husbands, in-laws, school, broken appliances, the laundry…). We vowed to have our play dates each week for the sake of our second children AND for the sake of our sanity! What a revelation… I NEED PLAYGROUP, TOO!!! This is going to be a good thing.

Jenna Elfman and her actor husband Bodhi Elfman are expecting baby number 2 in March!  Jenna, well known for her role in Dharma & Greg, is starring in this season’s new CBS sitcom Accidentally on Purpose. On the show, Jenna plays a practical single woman that becomes pregnant by a good-natured but irresponsible younger man. They move in together and comedy ensues. Her real-life pregnancy seems to be a perfect fit for her new role!

During her appearance on CBS’ The Early Show the 37 year old actress said “I have a baby in my tummy – but a real one, not just for my TV show.  My character’s pregnant the whole first season, so I said, ‘It’s a good time to have another baby, because we won’t have to hide it’”

The couple is already parents to 2-year-old son Story Elias.  Jenna and her husband are head over heels for their son, and are excited to add to their happy family!

Congratulations from everyone here at le•top to Jenna and Bodhi on your pregnancy and best of luck to you on your new show!
